Live on pypi

Blocked by Socket

The primary concern with this code is the use of 'exec' to execute scripts fetched from the internet without validation. This poses a significant security risk as it can potentially execute malicious code. The use of 'os.spawnle' and 'subprocess.Popen' with user-provided inputs also adds to the security concerns. Additionally, there is a typo in 'Optarser' and incomplete handling of the temporary directory cleanup. http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py was marked as Malicious by 1 engine in VT. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/3dce83785eafd47d40edd58b58c82593994cd409fc76351033486881fe943c36
